Raising a 24 ft Bayliner 2455 Ciera in Palm River Clair Mel, FL
Her owner had stopped visiting the 24 ft Bayliner 2455 Ciera cabin cruiser, which showed a green algae line and a chalky hull. A heavy rain and a stuck drain were enough, and she settled at her mooring by the stern, the bow pointing up.
The obstacle was the tide. The mooring sat where the current runs, and a lift in moving water can swing a boat right into the gear. So the crew timed the work for slack water, set a second anchor off the bow, and sent the lift bags under her only when the water had quieted.
Four hours later she was level. The sunken boat removal finished with a tow to the ramp and a truck ride toward Brandon to our yard. With the hull chalked through and the cabin full of mold, a repair made no sense, and she was dismantled and recycled. The engine and metal fittings went out as salvage.
